Homes Are Flying Off the Shelves in These 5 U.S. Cities

When RE/MAX surveyed the real estate trends of 52 U.S. cities for its February 2025 National Housing Report, data showed that homes nationwide spent an average of 51 days on market before selling. This is six days slower than February 2024, yet five days faster than January 2025.

While aggregated insights provide a glimpse into the state of housing on a larger scale, local insights shed light on how housing trends can vary greatly market by market.
